Alocasia amzonica

Got another to to play with just like the look of them its a house plant dont no if it would survive the full summer outside i had one before for a time

I've only grown them as house plants in the past but I don't think they are as hardy as Colocasias, needing high humidity to really keep them looking good. The cool nights we had last summer wouldn't do it any favours.

Wow, that is a beauty where did you get it from

These are Jewel Alocasia and need to be treated like succulents. They can do cool if dry. The problem would be our summer is cool and wet compared to what they like.

That's the sort of price you pay for these at the market. Well done.

This plant grows well only in a greenhouse. Doesn't like temperature differences, Red Spider Mite attacks it very often, too 'difficult' plant from my experience
